Perfect Sketchbook Kickstarter!

I'm backing the perfect sketchbook kickstarter, it looks to be the quality that I've been looking for but haven't been able to find.  I don't know this group personally so read carefully but I'm excited at its prospects, only a few days left!

I'm up on Twitter now!!

You'll always get the newest, freshest work here on Blogger but I'll have (almost) daily goodies coming out of the twitter feed from my backlog and sketchbook for those who are interested.

Completed Sketchbook!
